The future antichrist is a man possessed by satan, "the king of this world," who will assume the position of a "great prince" and "lawless king."

     He "will come with all the powers of this world" as stated in Revelation 13:13-14, "He performs great signs, so that even he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived."
